I mean Steve Jobs is a pretty peculiar person! and a businessman by heart! So i wouldn't be surprised if hes watching from heaven grinning while the
iPhone 4S sales take off!

How about he asked to release the new iPhone before he dies as he knew his end was coming?
He would've wanted to see the reaction of people and stuff.
You can't coincide his death with sympathy, not at his last moments atleast.
Maybe he knows for sure iPhone 5 will be a big hit! Maybe it features a NFC chip and improved siri or what not :0
